Hávamál - The sayings of the high one

“Deyr fé, deyja frændr, deyr sjálfr ið sama; ek veit einn, að aldri deyr: dómr of dauðan hvern.”

“The coward believes he will live foreverIf he holds back in the battle,But in old age he shall have no peaceThough spears have spared his limbs.”

“Cattle die, kinsmen die, you yourself must also die, but he who wins word fame lives forever”
